Prosciutto and Mozzarella Heros with Olive Relish

Kiesel's hero layers prosciutto and mozzarella with tomato, pickled peppers and arugula. An olive relish with crunchy slices of celery gives the sandwich an invigorating bite. For Rob, who developed a taste for strong, salty flavors as a child visiting the countries of the Mediterranean, the olives and capers are a wonderful addition.

Ingredients

3 large celery ribs

0.75 c. pitted mixed black and green olives

3 tbsp. Chopped flat-leaf parsley

1.50 tbsp. coarsely chopped capers

0.25 c. plus 1/2 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

6 6-inch-long hero rolls

12 large arugula leaves

0.75 lb. thinly sliced prosciutto

0.75 lb. fresh lightly salted mozzarella

3 large tomatoes

0.75 c. thinly sliced pickled peppers

Directions

Preheat the oven to 425°F. In a medium bowl, toss the celery, olives, parsley and capers and stir in the olive oil.

Spread the rolls open on a cookie sheet and bake for about 3 minutes, or until lightly crisp. Arrange 2 arugula leaves on the bottom half of each roll and top with 2 ounces of prosciutto, 2 mozzarella slices and 3 tomato slices. Top each sandwich with a layer of pickled peppers and about 1/4 cup of the olive relish. Close the heroes and serve at once.
